Just because it's not happening right now, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen later. It's just not happening right now. Sometimes the plans we make for our lives don't go according to plan. Sometimes the math just doesn't add up. But if it's not working right now, maybe there's another plan at play. Happy Thanksgiving week!!! Thankful for each and every one of you. We love you deep...

Have you ever finally found a moment of joy, and quickly got scared that someone or something was going to ruin it? Have you ever found a moment of peace, but deep down waiting for the other shoe to drop and everything to fall apart? Girl, we have. This is called self sabotage. When we count ourselves out of experiencing real joy and real happiness, because we’re waiting on something bad to happen...

There is no version of you that will make everyone happy sis. So collectively, let's all stop trying. The only thing that you can do, is be yourself. What makes you, YOU, is what makes you special. It's what makes you unique. It's what makes you one of one. Let people criticize, judge, and say whatever they want to say about you. Keep showing up as who you are sis. Not who your aunties, uncles, followers, viewers, or spectators think you should be...

Even though the situation may not be ideal, sometimes you have to do what you have to do sis. Things happen, and sometimes we can't control it. But we can control how we respond. We make things hard for ourselves when we become emotional, and let our emotions get in the way of making clear decisions. You can't go back and change how things have happened in your life, but you can change how you respond to them. Stop stressing sis...start moving...

The good thing about God is that you can always call him up. When you feel helpless, and overwhelmed. When life feels chaotic and you don’t know what to do. This week, with everything going on in the world, Ash reminds us that sometimes all you need to do is open up your mouth and talk to him. Without perfection. Without the need to say or do everything right. Just you, speaking what’s on your heart - to someone who's always willing to listen...

Your job is your purpose sis. Your assignment, is your responsibility. The people in our lives all serve a purpose, but it's up to us to determine what purpose that is. The more you grow and evolve, the bigger that purpose becomes, and you can't carry purpose and everybody else too. Let the actions of others determine where they sit in the show that is your life...

Buying pens, new planners, and new notebooks to get organized will do nothing if you don't sit down and actually do the work you plan to do in them. Most of the time sis, it’s the things that we put off, the things that we feel the most resistance to…those are the things that end up changing our lives. Sometimes you just don't feel like it, and we get it. But if you wait to feel good, and you wait to feel motivated enough to finish...it will never get done...

How would future you feel about the decisions you make each day? How would she respond to the issues happening in your life right now? Sometimes when we need answers, we look externally. We ask our family members and friends for advice. We need someone to motivate and inspire us. But the reality is, if we just took a minute to get quiet, and shut out the outside noise...we have the answers that we need...

Stop putting limits on yourself sis. Stop putting limits on your abilities, on your ideas, limiting your creativity, and putting a cap on what you think you can do. Better yet, stop putting a cap on what you think God can do. There is no limit, on the dreams that you have sis. Just because someone else's life looks big and grand, that doesn't mean you can't have big and grand too...

When you don't know the answers to everything in your life, anything is possible in your life. When you feel lost and not sure about your next move, it can be frustrating. But it's okay to feel a little lost sometimes boo. Sometimes we know exactly what we want but we have no clue how or when we're going to get there. One thing is for sure, a season of uncertainty will always bring forth a season of clarity. Just keep praying, waiting, and working....until you get there...
